QUOTE(eikozai @ Dec 29 2015, 09:24 AM) Using SmartDNS by Getflix. No problem so far, stable and maintain original ISP highspeed. Find the link to buy it cheap below my signature. Subscribed via the official web, from which accessible once u get your SmartDNS configured. how much is the monthly subscription via official web? cant check now as i do not have any VPN/DNS yet

QUOTE(eikozai @ Dec 31 2015, 10:02 AM) is this attached to the Apple ID or totally independent account from Netflix? Payment would be made to Netflix directly or through iTunes?

QUOTE(eikozai @ Jan 1 2016, 12:59 PM) Its independent. Nothing to do with Apple. Payment made directly to Netflix. You can download the Netflix apps from US App Store, then login using the subscibed account and there you go with all the contents. Okay, thank you again Can I make subscription on Netflix website without a US Credit Card? And the Apple TV I'm using is 4th gen, can I make a US Apple ID just to get the Netflix app and then use my primary Malaysian Apple ID that is associated to my other Apple Devices? Or it would make more sense to leave a US Apple ID signed in instead of using my Primary Malaysian Apple ID? I bought the Apple TV 2 weeks back and it's still in the box. Don't know how to set up properly.

QUOTE(fadzlie @ Jan 1 2016, 10:07 PM) 1. i believe most netflix users in malaysia is buying account from a reseller. not subscribing using own credit card. (billing address issue?) 2. i use only my US Apple ID signed in to app store. i don't see any advantages of using my Malaysian Apple ID (which is my primary too, like yours). easier to control purchase too, as i only use itunes gift card for my US account. for smartdns, currently i am trying a few before deciding to pay for which service provider. i've tried unotelly, and currently on simpletelly. both are almost the same. both have issue with Disney XD, Disney Junior app (with comcast xfinity account). after my simpletelly trial is over, i'll try unblock.us and getflix. if all are the same, pricing would be the deciding factor. whats the billing address issue? can payments be made to Netflix without using US Credit Cards?

QUOTE(eikozai @ Jan 2 2016, 11:11 AM) You're welcome. I used my Malaysia credit card for subscription payment on Netflix subsciption. Used PayPal before as well. It all works just fine. Yes, you can use the US Apple ID just to download the app, and then switch back to your primary M'sia Apple ID and you still will be able to enjoy the downloaded apps, which in this case was the Netflix. I done this, all the time. Its easy to set it up, hook the power point plug and HDMI to your tv, then turn on the power. The rest is quite a few clicks away, quite straight-forward for techies like us. Thanks again. What about the setup of the getflix? I'm planning to set everything up tomorrow night or Monday after getting home from my vacation

QUOTE(eikozai @ Jan 2 2016, 06:35 PM) Once you subscribed to Getflix, you will be able to access to a list of DNS. There's also a direct step-by-step guidelines from Getflix to setup the Apple TV(and other devices as well) which you can follow. Everything will just work in breeze. alright, will try it out and if i encountered any difficulties, i'll post here

QUOTE(eikozai @ Jan 2 2016, 10:56 PM) Yeap.. Will be glad to assist  Real face palm, setup was fine managed to make an US iTunes Account, separated iCloud with iTunes Apple ID BUT the problem is Getflix is having issues with registration of new accounts with @me.com emails can you check if its possible to change emails after setting up the account, if its possible i'll use my other email account then later switch to my @me.com email. or else i'll just wait for 1 week tops to see if they fixed the issue

QUOTE(eikozai @ Jan 5 2016, 02:19 AM) I think you should get in touch with the Getflix admin then. I don't see why it don't work with .me emails. I assumed you bought your Getflix from the link below my signature? Well, if that's the case, have you activated the codes? If you haven't, then you can register another account using another email address, and then, activate the code in that new account. I do this coz i don't wan't 'New Account' which was rubbish written in StackSocial for Getflix. Yes I purchased it from stack social as I have already have an account with them. You mean it's possible to activate the code twice? Once on my other email and another time on a new Getlfix account once they can accept @me.com email?
